1 Millionth Truck Hub Unit Supplied to MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG
When SKF GmbH delivered its 1,000,000th truck hub unit to MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, it took this quantum leap in wheel bearing technology as an opportunity to offer the truck manufacturer a token of thanks for many years of trusting and extremely positive business relations. To mark the occasion, Bernd Stephan, Director of SKF Business Unit Trucks, Mathias Bitsch, Truck Sales Germany, and Jürgen Eyrich, Business Engineer responsible for MAN, presented a gold-plated version of the one-millionth hub unit to Dr.-Ing. Karl-Viktor Schaller, Board Member Technology and Purchasing of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, at the MAN headquarters in Munich.
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge was the first customer in Germany to switch over to the then newly developed SKF truck hub units. Since July 1998, the company has fitted the front axles of large trucks exclusively with these units and, due to good results, it decided to use the new system also for the front axles for loads from 3.4 to 6 tonnes a couple of years later. Today SKF is the sole supplier of MAN front axles.
"The one millionth SKF truck hub unit represents a success story that both companies can be proud of," Bernd Stephan emphasised when presenting the golden bearing. "After all, one million THUs are equivalent to half a million MAN trucks. For us as a supplier, the high delivery volume provides evidence of our employees' expertise and experience. Thanks to the high defect-free quality of our products and the performance of the developers, designers and customer engineers in Schweinfurt as well as of the production experts in Lüchow near Wolfsburg, the business relations between our two companies are forward-looking and based on fair partnership."
In reply, Dr. Karl-Viktor Schaller praised the quality, performance capacity and delivery service. "SKF is justified in claiming that this is a quantum leap in wheel bearing technology - not only as far as the number of truck hub units delivered to MAN is concerned. In the meantime, tens of thousands of these bearings have clocked up one million kilometres and more in our vehicles. And they're still running as reliably as they were on day they were fitted."
